Sweet Sanctuary

Sweet Sanctuary, by Sheila Walsh and Cindy Martinusen Coloma, is a wonderful book about forgiveness and moving on with your life. It is about a single mother trying to raise her son while struggling with moving on from her past and making the right decisions for the future. I actually really enjoyed reading this book; I normally read historical books and tend to stay away from books set in modern times. I found this book refreshing in that it was a modern story but it still had the morals that I am used to in the historical books.

One thing I really liked about this book was that when issues arose the answer was almost always to put your trust in God. I thought that there were many parts of this story that were relevant to the problems that happen in real life and that the way that the characters struggled and solved their problems was very encouraging to readers. The importance of family was prevalent throughout this novel. I really enjoyed reading how the relationships between the family members changed and grew stronger as the novel progressed. At the beginning of the book you find a broken family that is hurting and by the end of the book you find a family that is healing and growing stronger.
I received a complimentary copy of Sweet Sanctuary from Booksneeze for the purpose of writing a fair and honest review.  I received no other compensation.
